|---|
| Cerebrum | Conscious thought processes, memory storage and processing, intellectual functions |
| Medulla Oblongota | Relays sensory information to thalamus and to portions of the brain stem |
| Cerebellum | Coordinates complex somatic motor patterns. Adjusts output of other somatic motor centers in brain and spinal cord |
| Pons | Relays sensory information to the cerebellum and thalamus. Subconscious somatic and visceral motor centers |
| Mesencephalon | Processes sight and hearing data, maintenance of counsciousness, and generation of reflexive somatic motor responses |
| Thalamus | Relay and processing center for sensory information. Part of the diencephalon |
| Hypothalamus | Center for controlling emotions, autonomic functions and hormone production. Part of the diencephalon |
| Corpus Callosum | Bundle of axons that link the two cerebral hemipheres |
| Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) | Completely surrounds and bathes the CNS. Cushions delicate neural structures, supports the brain, and transport nutrients |
| Midbrain | Another name for mesencephalon |
| Bell's palsy | Facial paralysis |
| Stroke | Lack of O2 or ruptured blood vessel |
| Cortex | Outer surface of the brain, wrinkled, irregular shaped |
| Hydrocephalus | Excess fluid buildup in the brain. |
| Concussion | Injury resulting from a violent jar or shock to the head, temporary loss in consciousness and brain function |
| Parkinson's disease | Affects nerve cells in the mesencephalon, trembling, difficulty walking,caused from lack of dopamine |
| Dyslexia | Impairment of brain's ability to translate written images received from eyes into a full meaning language |
| Disconnection Syndrome | When the two cerebral hemispheres function alone |
